9) Owens vs Jericho Teased
After Chris Jericho accepted the match with Goldberg for Kevin Owens, the two best friends had some words backstage. Owens was not happy with Jericho for putting him in a position to potentially lose his belt.
A match between Jericho and Owens at Wrestlemania 33 has been rumored for the past several months. It looks like WWE is starting to put the pieces into place. Other than their backstage argument, both teased a potential match in their earlier promo when they spoke about the possibly of wrestling one another:

Should be a great match. The only question is if the WWE Universal Title will be included in the future match between Jericho and Owens!
A great example of long-term storytelling by WWE.

So tired of everyone interfering in each other’s matches. Can’t we have a clean match anymore?
